Valkenburg (14 Nov – 22 Dec 2008)
(Maastricht)
The oldest and largest subterranean Christmas market in Europe!
Friday 14 November 2008 marks the opening of the Valkenburg's 23rd annual Christmas Market, held as usual held in its underground grotto. Many hundreds of thousands of visitors have already passed through its labyrinth of passages to take advantage of the seasonal market's special atmosphere. The ancient galleries and the stylish dramatization of an episode from Valkenburg's rich history provide the perfect backdrop to this uniquely appealing occasion.
The Christmas market is embellished with song and music and at weekends the visitor can enjoy many cultural asides. As you wander through the grotto, you will be tempted by many of the seasonal attractions on sale. If you're ever at a loss as to what to buy for that special someone at Christmas, this subterranean bazaar will give you ideas aplenty!
